This totally disgusting loss of freedom is happening in the country that gave us the "mother of parliaments," magna carta, the 1688 Bill of Rights. I know it will be no surprise to some on this board, but let us reflect on how precious our freedoms are and how the Brits are now on their last line of defence: the right to contact their elected representative.
Could people be deprived of their liberties in similar circumstances here? Maybe not yet, but we cannot be far from it.
